Pioneering Video-Based Neurocritical Care Education in Palestine: A Randomized Controlled Trial on Nursing Students' Knowledge, Attitude, Practice, and Self-Confidence Toward External Ventricular Drainage
Abstract
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of a video-based educational program on nursing students' knowledge, attitude, self-reported practice, and confidence related to external ventricular drainage (EVD) care. The study will be conducted among third- and fourth-year undergraduate nursing students enrolled in the critical care course at Modern University College, West Bank, Palestine. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either a structured 57-minute video-based educational session or an equivalent flashcard-based session covering the same content. All participants will complete pre- and post-intervention assessments to measure changes in EVD-related knowledge, attitude, self-reported practice, and confidence.
Conditions: Clinical Competence, Self-Confidence, Knowledge Level.
Primary outcome: Knowledge Score Measured by the EVD Knowledge Questionnaire; Self-Confidence Visual Analog Scale (VAS); Attitude Score Measured by the EVD Attitude Scale; EVD Practice Checklist.
Enrollment: 90 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 90 participants or records.
